Gopster! Yer the Gopster!
I never woulda thought of it, myself, but now that you mentioned it…You’re doomed!
Was bedeutet zweisamkeit? Double Samness? Second place?
Okay, I have been called (at various times) Flamsterette_X, Flam, F_X, FX, Flami, Flam X, The Flamster, and Flami-o. (plus probably a few other variations)
What I would really like to be called, though, is Sarne or Macy. (only jackelope will get this, I think)
F_X
You may refer to me as He Who Is Now Gainfully Employed As A Tech Support Hauke At A Game Company, And Who Is Happy To The Point Of Extreme Silliness.
Actually, you were right the first time. “You’re” is a contraction of “you are.” “Your” means “belonging to you.”
Geezer is okay as a handle for me. It’s better than some of the names I’ve been saddled with.
I pity the fool who calls me Mr. T! 
(Actually I don’t mind, and it is a logical shortening. As long as you realize that I don’t wear any gold chains around my neck.)
I prefer to randomly craft shortened nicknames when I’m feeling jocular, and doing full nicks the rest of the time. Fred is my favorite of the shorteneds, I wish I’d thought of it.
You can all feel free to call me Benjamin. I’ve only had one person call me Benjamin on a regular basis, and I thought it was neat. It might confuse the normals, though.
Here’s the trick: if you’re so forgettable that nobody knows who you are, then you don’t have to keep track of what they call you 'cuz they never do.
Works for me.
I wonder at what username length people feel compelled to contrive a nickname for another poster? I don’t think anyone has even attempted to try one on my name.
Although I’ve always been fond of Osy Cosy (o-see co-see) which my Dad invented when I was a kid, even though it’s longer.
I was wrong the first time: I said: "Not Quagdop the Mercodian? Which is surely you’re real name (in my head). "
The “you’re” should have been “your”.
I got the second one: “Or Acsecnarf if you’re feeling contrary” right the first time.
I do know my grammar 
Carry on.
How bout Flamer? :>
This is a good a time as any to mention that I can’t see Flammy’s username without being reminded of these lines from Longfellow:[ul]And the Yule-log cracked in the chimney,
And the Abbot bowed his head,
And the flamelets flapped and flickered,
But the Abbot was stark and dead.[/ul]Not particularly cheery, but hey, it’s poetry.
While I’ve always wanted to be called You Magnificent Stud (preferably by a young redheaded female), I figure the odds of that happening are about the same as my flapping my arms and flying to the Moon.
Your Majesty, King of the World would be nice, too.
However, on the SDMB, I’ll answer to almost any recognizable variant on my username.
You’re not the first one to think of that. I’ve been seriously considering changing my name to one I recently picked up, deadlyaccurate. In fact, I think I’m going to email the admins and see if I can do that.
Guin, I had a thought yesterday. If I ever had a child (not likely, but accidents do happen) and it was a girl, I’d like to name her Guinastasia.
I was alluding to this before, on page 1 of this thread.
I explained it in Explain what your name means…, if you’d like to read about it.
Me and puns, it’s an addiction, I tells ya…
Osiris: Is your given name really Osiris? Cool! What does it mean, where’s it from, etc.?
Really, I thought it was pretty obvious who I was referring to when I used K + K.
ah well…
ToF.
